NiMet Predicts Sunshine, Haze & Afternoon Thunderstorms Across Nigeria This Week
The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has released a three-day weather outlook forecasting predominantly sunny and hazy conditions in the North and North-Central regions, while the South braces for localised showers and thunderstorms from Sunday to Tuesday.
In its bulletin issued Saturday in Abuja, NiMet indicated that the northern states will enjoy clear, sunny skies throughout the period, with persistent hazy conditions expected across the North-Central zone due to suspended dust particles in the atmosphere.
Sunday (Dec 21):
- Sunny skies dominate the North.
- Hazy atmosphere in the North-Central region.
- Morning localised thunderstorms with light rainfall in parts of Rivers, Bayelsa, and Delta states.
- Later in the day, isolated thunderstorms expected in Rivers, Delta, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, and Bayelsa.
Monday (Dec 22):
- Persistent sunshine in the North and hazy conditions in North-Central states.
- Cloudy skies in the morning across southern states, followed by isolated thunderstorms in the afternoon.
Tuesday (Dec 23):
- Sunny and hazy weather continues in the North and North-Central.
- Morning cloudiness in the South, giving way to isolated thunderstorms with moderate rainfall later in the day.
NiMet has advised residents, particularly those with respiratory conditions, to take necessary precautions against the ongoing hazy atmosphere and suspended dust particles. Motorists are urged to drive carefully during periods of rainfall, while airline operators have been reminded to consult airport-specific weather reports from NiMet for safe flight planning.
The agency encouraged the public to stay informed by following its official weather updates and bulletins. Read More
